Fortinet FortiGate 51G-SFP-PoE Secure RMA Service, 3-Year (FC-10-F51GP-301-02-36)

Three years of Secure RMA for the FortiGate 51G-SFP-PoE strikes a balance between commitment and flexibility. The FC-10-F51GP-301-02-36 means that for the next three years, any hardware failure is resolved with a Fortinet-dispatched replacement — and the failed appliance stays within your controlled environment. No courier collects it. No data leaves the building.

What Secure RMA Covers

Fortinet appliances carry configuration data on non-field-replaceable solid-state media. Returning a failed unit under a standard RMA moves that media off your premises. Secure RMA addresses exactly this concern: the service allows non-return of the defective hardware while Fortinet provides an advance replacement to restore operations. It must be paired with an active FortiCare Premium or FortiCare Elite per-device support contract.

FortiCare Support and RMA Tiers

Secure RMA is a Priority RMA add-on. Your FortiCare per-device tier sets the baseline response; this add-on extends your RMA rights. Here is the full comparison:

Who Benefits from This Service

The 3-year term fits organizations running the FortiGate 51G-SFP-PoE in a secure zone — classified networks, regulated data centers, financial back-office environments, or any facility where hardware asset control is mandatory. It also suits organizations that want Secure RMA coverage aligned with a hardware refresh cycle rather than locking into a 5-year commitment.

Activation and Delivery

FC-10-F51GP-301-02-36 is delivered electronically to the registered email within 0–1 business days of order. Activation links the license to the FortiGate 51G-SFP-PoE serial number inside your FortiCare account, and coverage starts on the date you activate — giving you full control over when the 3-year period begins.

Other Term Options

If your planning horizon is shorter, the 1-year Secure RMA (FC-10-F51GP-301-02-12) lets you evaluate the service before a longer commitment. For the lowest per-year cost and the fewest renewal events, the 5-year term (FC-10-F51GP-301-02-60) is available. The service features are identical across all terms.
